Hi I am a NM and I have just announced by intention to package ORBacus which I use at work. The make files supplied with the software build some dll libraries, then some command and then go on to build more dll libraries and commands using the software already built. The make files use LD_LIBRARY_PATH to pick up the libraries that have just been built. However, as I run `debuild -rsudo', the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is of course ignored as the building is being performed as root (why? -- isn't this a bug?), and the execution of the commands, and hence the build, fail because the new commands can't find the libraries. Is there a standard way of getting around this method in debuild? Should I raise a bug against devscripts as compiling of libraries and commands shouldn't be done as root? Thanks for your advice. Steve
